15 Secretly Funny People Working In Robots That Vacuum And Mop

Robots That Vacuum and Mop

Robots that mop and vacuum offer the convenience of cleaning both dry debris (dust, dirt) and wet mess (spills or staining) in one go without having to swap out devices. They can also help save storage space compared to having two separate units, particularly in smaller living spaces.

A good combination bot will have impressive navigation and obstacle avoidance. Look for models that have docks that let them automatically empty their bins, replenish their water tanks and machine-wash the mopping pads.

1. Eufy S1 Pro

It's one of the easiest robots to set up that we've ever tested. Unpacking the S1 Pro is simple, and a quick-start guide will have you up and running with a clean and complete dust bag, hard floor solution and water tank in no time.

The S1 Pro is an incredibly powerful machine that can mop and vacuum well. The mops spin at high speeds and apply 2.2 pounds (1kg) of force, allowing for quick removal of pet hair, dirt and dried sticky spills. The vacuum comes with four power modes, a variety of brushes and attachments and an intuitive app that lets you pick the kind of cleaning you'd like to have for each room.

For instance, you can, ask the robot to clean the kitchen and living room thoroughly but leave the spare bedroom alone. The S1 Pro has excellent front collision sensors and smart navigation technology. It can detect small obstacles that other models can't. The only issue it has is that it tends to crash into walls and objects at full speed - but just a glance at the history of cleaning in the app tells you exactly what it's doing, where it's going and what obstacles it's avoided.

A large LCD screen on the docking station shows you when maintenance tasks are required, such as emptying the debris tray, and rinsing its dirty water tank. It can also mix detergent into the tank in a controlled manner by using a 600ml eufy solution.

Both the S1 Pro vacuum and mop are able to run for a long time, with the mop capable of running for 184 minutes in Quiet mode and the vacuum able to do 136 minutes in normal mode before having to recharge or return to the base to refill. And you can see the entire cleaning information in the app, which is intuitively laid out and easy to understand although we would like to be able to differentiate between a mop only vacuum and a vacuum/mop clean when looking at a clean area in the history of cleaning.

2. Roborock S8 Pro Ultra

The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra is the latest version of the company's most popular Robot vacuum cleaners Best vacuum and mop. The model of this year features a double agitator built into its mopping pad. This increases the cleaning capabilities of carpets with this model. The S8 Pro Ultra has an improved suction capacity that allows it to pick up smaller hairs as well as other debris other best robotic mop and vacuum cleaners might miss.

The Roborock model, just like the other two I tested it has infrared and a reactive 3D obstacle avoidance technology that helps it avoid obstacles such as walls, furniture and other obstacles. However, the S8 Pro Ultra takes things an extra step by incorporating a dual camera that can detect objects and determine whether they're an object that is a wall or a different surface. It is able to change its course automatically and clean the objects, without missing a step.

This is the most expensive of the three models I've reviewed but it's also the most loaded with features. Its sleek angular design is striking and comes with three buttons that are physically accessible. The power button, which resumes the cleaning, a mop button that doubles as a child-lock and a home button to bring the robot to its dock. The hinged lid can be lifted to reveal a 350ml dust bin and 200ml water tank. The water tank is self-emptying and the bin is auto-filling.

The only drawback I could find with this model was that the VibraRise mop pads mount isn't movable. You can change the mopping cloth if required, but it's a challenge to take the mount off for washing manually. I've observed that any carpet that the robot touches will come into contact with the rough Velcro like fastener system on the mounts, which can cause abrasions.

The S8 Pro Ultra is equipped with a range of smart features including support for Google Home and Amazon Alexa. The Roborock app is where you can manage and set up these features. It also includes maps and advanced mopping options. The app allows you to schedule cleanings and track the battery's life. However, you'll need to jump through a few hurdles to enable voice control on this model, which is a shame considering the performance of this model.

It can also get under furniture that is low-profile which makes it a great option for apartments with small spaces or condos. The side brush tilts automatically down when it detects wet spots. This is a wonderful feature that helps the X40 to prevent damage to floors from the frequent back-and-forth movement.

Unlike some other robots that solely focus on one task, the X40 can do both vacuuming and mopping simultaneously or individually. It can be programmed to mop only the hard floors and not skip carpeted areas, and reverse the process. It can be controlled using the Dreame app or by using Alexa, Siri, and Google Home to ensure a smooth voice-controlled operation.
